Night Out: Barrel ofMonkeys at Theater on the Lake

Saturday, July 20, 2013
from
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Theater on the Lake: The Chicago Summer Theater Festival presents 8 plays in 8 weeks, showcasing a strong cross section of Chicago's rich off-Loop theater community. Barrel of Monkeys presents That's Weird, Grandma by student authors; adapted by ensemble; Ensemble directed. Barrel of Monkeys is an ensemble of actors/educators who create an alternative learning environment in which children share their personal voices and celebrate the power of their imaginations. This is accomplished through creative writing workshops and in-school performances of children's stories. The result is smart and funny, hailed by chicagotheater.com as "part pep rally, part musical theater extravaganza - and one of the most real, uplifting and engaging theatrical experiences in town."

Family friendly - recommended for ages 5 and up.
